    Clouds B& B Is About 4.5 Miles North of UIG – Marked with a on the Map

    Clouds B& B is about 4.5 miles north of UIG – Marked with a on the map, on the Trotternish Peninsula. Most people get to Clouds by travelling North on the A87 from Portree towards UIG. The Black route opposite. It is also possible to get to Clouds the long way round, through Culnacnoc, Brogaig and up and over the tip of the peninsula at Duntulm. The Red Route, opposite. This is ALL single track roads and takes significantly longer. This guide will explain both routes. How to get to Clouds from Portree via UIG Most people go this way. The start point for the black route is The Aros Centre just outside Portree. (Viewfield Road Portree, IV51 9EU) 1 – Head north towards A87 / Viewfield Road for 1 kilometre. As you approach the Junction bear LEFT towards UIG / A87. 2 - After half a mile you will come to a mini roundabout – The Co-Op supermarket will be to your right. Go straight over the mini-roundabout (2nd exit) and carry on the main road A87. Stay on the A87 all the way towards UIG. – approximately 14 miles. You will go through small villages such as Kensaleyre and Earlish. After Earlish take care of the next set of directions – You will NOT be going all the way into UIG village. Please carefully follow the steps below. You should still be on the A87 and you have come up the hill towards Earlish. As you come DOWN the hill you will be approaching Uig. The Uig Hotel 1 is on your right.

  • Residential Field Trip to Raasay

    Residential Field Trip to Raasay

    Residential field trip to Raasay Friday 27th to Monday 30th April 2018 Leader: Dr Brian Bell Friday 27th April We drove to Skye in shared cars and boarded the ferry at Sconser for the twenty-five-minute sail to Raasay. By late afternoon the group had all met up at Raasay House where we would be staying. Saturday 28th April, am. Report by Seonaid Leishman When Brian Bell was asked by Maggie Donnelly to take a GSG excursion to Raasay it was clear that long notice was required, not only to fit in with Brian’s reputation and busy schedule, but because of the popularity of the main accommodation on the Island! We therefore had 18 months to build up high expectations – all of which were all met! The original Macleod house was burned following Culloden and rebuilt in 1747. Boswell, visiting in 1773 states, “we found nothing but civility, elegance and plenty”. Not much has changed. The Raasay House Community Trust has worked hard to set up the Hotel and Outdoor Centre in this elegant building. On the Friday we joined Brian and his colleague Ian Williamson at the House and had the first of many excellent meals followed by an introductory talk in the House library provided for our Group’s use. The Island has well exposed rocks ranging in age from Archaean Lewisian Gneiss, through Torridonian sedimentary rocks, Triassic and Jurassic including Raasay Ironstone and topped by Palaeogene lavas and sills. We would see all these exposures – however not necessarily in the right order! Saturday morning before breakfast photos were urgently being taken of sun on the Red Cuillins – this weather and view wouldn’t change all weekend! The Red Cuillins from Raasay House Brian then explained that because of the sun he wanted to skip sequence and NOT start with the oldest rocks, in order to ensure a great photo that morning on the east coast at Hallaig.

From here you can download the file ‘W-J,_SFS_Final_discussion.pdf’. 9.1 Introduction Scotland’s First Settlers (SFS) was set up to look for evidence of the earliest foragers, or Mesolithic, settlement around the Inner Sound, western Scotland. Particular foci of interest included the existence and nature of midden sites, the use of rockshelters and caves, and the different types of lithic raw material (including especially baked mudstone) in use. In order to implement the project a programme of survey and test pitting, together with limited excavation was set up (see Illustration 568, right). Along the way information on other sites, both Prehistoric and later was collected, and this has also been covered in this report. In Illus 568: SFS survey work in addition, a considerable amount of information on the progress. Much of the work changing nature of the landscape and environment has had to be carried out by boat been presented. Fieldwork has finished, data has been analysed. There will always be scope for further work (and this will be discussed later), but the first stages of the project have definitely come to a close. How well has it achieved its aims? 9.2 The major achievements of the project 9.2.1 Fieldwork SFS fieldwork was conducted over a period of five years between 1999 and 2004.
